Common atrium associated with polydactily and dwarfism in middle age male patient.

Polydactyly associated with dwarfism may serve as a hint for the presence of additional congenital cardiac abnormalities, thus rousing the demand for a detailed cardiac and genetic investigation. In our case, echocardiography findings led to the diagnosis of most likely Ellis-van Creveld syndrome. We may conclude that prenatal diagnosis of the syndrome can be readily achieved by fetoscopy, fetal echocardiography, and molecular genetic testing by amniocentesis or DNA extracted from chorionic villus samples.
